Re: Ride height
Welcome to the board. I bump up the rear suspension a bit if I am driving on rough roads but normally I run it at the height shown in the first picture. The second shows the suspension aired out. The truck was built with stock inner fenders and wheel tubs... No modifications.

 . I only got the truck on the road last September. The rear is good but I still have to set the front bumpstops. In the spring when the truck comes out, I will have the bumpstops set so that, yes, I will be able to drive "aired-out". As far as a bag popping, I think it's pretty unlikely that will ever happen. A more likely failure would be a compressor or an airline going in which case I carry around a "repair" kit with some spare line and have a schrader valve on my air tank that I can fill up at a gas station if my compressor stops working.

Re: Ride height
I drive mine aired out, keep in mind these are 17's and larger wheels would
make it appear lower than it really is. (Aired up to the max look's donk  )
